Wyden Blasts DOGE Reckless Handling of Social Security Sensitive Data

Washington, D.C. — Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued the following statement on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) endangering millions of Americans' personal information by uploading a Social Security database to an unsecured cloud server.

“This account is a clear example of how the Trump administration is playing fast and loose with Americans’ most sensitive personal information. Trump and DOGE’s reckless treatment of Social Security data jeopardizes the financial security and personal safety of every single American.”
